Blended Families can present many challenges.  This can be stressful for children and families.  It may take time for family members to bond and adjust to each other.

Some issues raised by blending families can include:
Guilt
Jealousy
Conflicts
Difficulty bonding
Conflicts between parents
Manipulation
Behavior problems
Confusion about rules
